Good evening to all, my name is Caridad Rodriguez and my major is Human Service field. I come from a huge family of eleven children and I m lucky number seven. My interest in studying at BMCC is so that I can finally reach my goal of completing school now that I’m at the clear mindset to do so. I am a mother of two girls who are five and two and they definitely keep me on my feet. My plans after BMCC is two enroll in a four year school to complete my bachelor’s in…. Not too sure what yet but the goal is to get my bachelors in a career I love and can see working in until I retire. Some of my interest are watching my fiancé box and walking in the park with my family and Tanke our rottweiller.
Hey Caridad, loved your introduction! I think we are in the same boat with not being able to decide on what we want to major on! Hope we find peace in our pursuit!

Hello Caridad!
I really relate to the “huge family” haha! I have 6 siblings, my mother has 4, and my grandmother has 11 !! It is very inspiring that you decided to come back to finish your schooling, all while being a mother. Hope you have an amazing semester:)
Hello everyone,
My name is Donje, and I’m currently a psychology major at BMCC. I’ve been working as a behavioral tech for children with special needs for the past 7 years, which has been both challenging and rewarding. I initially enrolled at BMCC with the goal of becoming an emergency medical technician, but when things didn’t quite work out in that area, I decided to continue pursuing something I already had some experience and knowledge in psychology.
I’m really interested in studying at BMCC because it’s a great starting point for me to learn more about the psychological field and how it connects with working with children, especially in educational settings. After I complete my studies here, my goal is to become a school counselor, specifically working with high school students. I feel passionate about helping kids navigate their challenges and providing the support they need to succeed.
Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring different ways to relax and unwind. I’m excited to be here and look forward to learning more from everyone in the class.
Hello Donje, I agree with you, how is that excited to work with children, I feel like we can learn from them a lot of things, and every single time they teach us to find out new method to deal with them and teach them, I hope you to achieve your goal!
Greetings Donje,
I appreciate your post and think it is such a generous and heartfelt contribution to our youth. I am majoring in human services and seeking to expand my education to pursue behavioral psychology. My goal is to become a family counselor for children placed in foster care. I aim to create harmonious and healthy family connections so that children can grow up in families that are not perfect but loving, living, and thriving in a healthy environment. It is nice to know how to unwind and provide nurturing for yourself as well. Thank you for sharing, and looking forward to learning and growing in this class.
Hey Donje,
Great introduction!
I’m glad you decided to pursue the major that you felt was right for you. I think being a counselor sounds great. I love children ! I currently work helping children myself by providing childcare services. We’re lucky to have people like you who want to make a difference. Good luck on your journey.

Hey everyone. I hope everybody is doing good. I am Samid Sadeem Rahman and I hail from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I moved to New York, USA last year on April. I am currently working as a canvasser/environmental activist for New York Public Interest Research Group. I love my job as I get to be involved in advocating for a fossil-fuel free New York. I joined BMCC to earn my associate degree on Economics however I plan to switch to biotechnology as I believe it will provide me the platform to explore my creative side and be involved in development. Let me know which one would you prefer. After BMCC, I plan to transfer to a nice college and complete my degree to pursue a career that helps me earn enough to help my family sustain along with making a change in the society around me. I hope we all have a great time doing this course.
Hey Samid, biotechnology was one of my options when i was choosing between majors, biotechnology is a great and interesting field, i like biology and i think it is very important in our society, good luck with that!!!

Greetings Samid,
Thank you for sharing your attributes and ambitions. Would you believe I registered in two different Political 100 classes before I reached this class? I was in the wrong group, but during that short time, I met wonderful people who supported me, and I was able to support them in return. Your story reminds me of how much you want to contribute to making the planet healthier, and the love you have for supporting your family is truly heartfelt.
Welcome to New York! I believe that whichever journey you choose—whether in biotech or economics—you will benefit the cause. Let the force guide you.

Hello everyone!
My name is Jayleen Abreu, I am 23 years old and I am a Human Services major. This will be my second full semester at BMCC. I grew up in the Lower East Side and now live in Brooklyn with my partner. We live with two cats named Friday and Mary, and a sweet little Yorkie Terrier named Shushi. I am a part-time nanny and a singer-songwriter. I have been working with children since I was about 14, starting with babysitting the kids in my neighborhood and my little siblings. I want to hopefully go into Social Work after my I complete my 2 years at BMCC. I had many social workers as a kid and will always remember them and how much they helped me, and my dream is to one day be that for other young people in the world. Excited to continue my education and to be with learning with you all:)
Greetings everyone,
My name is Michelle, but I prefer to be called Miche’. I am a student at BMCC, majoring in Human Studies. I am passionate about understanding others and supporting them in what makes their lives fulfilling, so I see myself as a resource. I am particularly excited about working with families who are looking to establish healthy relationships, whether as married or cohabiting couples. My goal is to help them create a harmonious connection for themselves and their children. I am looking forward to diving into the learning of government history; it should be most revealing. Happy learning everyone!!!
Hi Michelle,
I think its lovely that you have a passion for understanding others as do I.
I enjoy learning about personal growth especially within my personal relationships. Maintaining a healthy relationship has been something I have learned to establish with my partner, family and friendships. It has helped me become a better man. I can appreciate what you are willing to do for others in your career and wish you success!
Hey Michelle
Great intro! Happy learning!
Good evening, my name is Tyrek Johnson, I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I lived majority of my life in Flatbush, Brooklyn specifically so if you’re familiar with the area you’ll know how Caribbean influenced it is and both of my parents are from Panama. I’m a freshman at BMCC majoring in Psychology. After I graduate from BMCC with my associate degree, I plan on pursuing a bachelor’s degree in psychology at one of the best CUNY’s. I’m into music, sports, holistic health, psychology, and astrology. I like to go deep into astrology, I know people assume it to be about the popular sun sign and horoscopes, but it goes way deeper. You have different planets, star signs and houses that influence and make up your birth chart. You can get a better understanding of yourself on a spiritual level the deeper you go. There’s a lot of psychology that goes into astrology as well.
